Graham Greene (source) ALAN LADD | THIS GUN FOR HIRE (1942) Oversized photo

[Hollywood: Paramount Pictures, 1942]. Vintage original 20 x 16″ (51 x 41 cm.) black-and-white print still photo, just about fine.

An extraordinary and exceedingly scarce portrait of Alan Ladd in his breakthrough role as a hired assassin in this seminal film noir — and in an unusual very large format almost never encountered. This classic noir movie is adapted from Graham Greene’s novel A Gun for Sale.
